45
Q

Factors determining BP

A

CMV,TPR, volume of circulating blood

46
Q

Major regulatory systems of BP

A

ANS and RAAS

47
Q

Angiotensin 2 acts on aldosterone leads to na and water retention and increase venous return,this leads to

A

Increase cardiac output

48
Q

Compensatory mechanism for reduced vascular tone is

A

Increased HR

49
Q

Compensatory mechanism for reduced CMV is

A

Vasoconstriction

50
Q

RAAS increase BP by

A

Vasoconstriction and increasing the circulatory blood volume

51
Q

What leads to increased renin production

A

Increased sympathetic stimulation, decrease BP, decreased renal blood flow, decreased na in distal tubules

52
Q

Angiotensin 2 in AT 1 receptor

A

Increase vasoconstriction,ROS, sympathetic NS activity,ADH secretion, ventricular hypertrophy

53
Q

Angiotensin 2 in AT2recetopr

Peripheral -alpha 1adrenoreceptor antagonists, Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist

57
Q

Hypotensive activity is done by

A

Decreased afterload through arterial dilation and decreased preload through venous dilation ((diastolic end vol) and decreased CMV through reduced chronotropy and inotropy

58
Q

Activity of ACE inhibitors
